Well, not really. Found a review for a book I narrated several years ago -- the beloved Robert McCloskey classic, Make Way For Ducklings. Here's an excerpt:
Melba Sibrel has a soothing voice that goes well with the simple charcoal drawings of the picture book. This audiobook pairs well with the picture book and gives a pre-reading child an experience of “reading” the book solo. Sibrel also gives character to both Mr. and Mrs. Mallard throughout the book.
More recently, I'm the voice of "Miyoko", a Japanese-American with a love for caffeine! This is for a series of business etiquette training modules. Purchase info will be passed on when available.
Voiced two in a series of mystery-suspense novels by Debbi Mack: "Identity Crisis" & "Least Wanted" -- the biggest challenges I've ever had in voice acting. Independently published, the first book debuted at about #39 on the NYT Best Sellers List -- an amazing feat for an indy. Here's the Audiofile Magazine review of the audiobook for that work here:
Melba Sibrel's slightly whiny voice and off-kilter cadence reflect the personality of Stephanie "Sam" McRae, a flaky but determined lawyer who finds herself defending a former client who is accused of identify theft and murder. Using slight tonal differences, Sibrel hits the mark with the supporting characters—from Mafia wise-guy bruisers to wacky suspects. Her voice becomes whispery when she delivers narrative, a style that creates welcome contrast. And she’s especially creative with the female characters. Although the characterizations are slight, the story is so entertaining and Sibrel's voice so engaging that the overall listening experience is fun. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
